The Orange OR60 is proof that simplicity does not mean limitation. Designed and built in the UK, this 60-Watt, all-valve guitar amp head delivers authoritative modern Orange tone with the flexibility today’s players demand. Powered by a pair of 6L6 valves, the OR60 offers impressive headroom, tight low-end control, and a clarity that makes it equally comfortable as a pristine pedal platform or a high-gain workhorse pushed to its limits.
At its core, the OR60 is a single-channel amp with serious muscle. Its voicing is rich and harmonically detailed, with a focused low end that stays controlled even at higher volumes. Thanks to a carefully implemented negative feedback loop, unruly frequencies are kept in check, allowing the amp to retain punch and definition whether you are chasing sparkling cleans, edge-of-breakup dynamics, or aggressive modern drive.
Volume Boost at the Tap of a Foot
One of the OR60’s standout features is its footswitchable second volume control. Rather than altering gain or EQ, this second volume lets players dial in instant solo boosts or rhythm/lead level changes with zero tonal compromise. It is a deceptively powerful feature that makes the amp exceptionally practical on stage and in the studio, all while preserving the integrity of your core sound.
Super-Customizable Power-Amp Shaping
Unlike many single-channel designs, the OR60 offers dedicated Presence and Resonance controls, giving players direct command over the high- and low-frequency response of the power amp. The Presence control fine-tunes upper-end bite and air, while the Resonance dial shapes the depth and punch of the low end.
Brighten the Corners
A front-panel Bright switch adds another layer of tonal flexibility. Engaged, it brings extra bite and definition to darker-voiced pickups and adds sparkle to clean tones. Disengaged, it smooths the top end for warmer, rounder sounds. It is a simple control with a dramatic impact, especially for players who switch guitars or genres during a set.
Crystal-Clear Pedal Platform
The OR60 is voiced to take boosts beautifully, and its valve-buffered FX loop ensures time-based and modulation effects remain clear and intact at any gain level. From ambient delays to lush reverbs, the loop maintains signal integrity without dulling dynamics or introducing unwanted coloration. Combined with the amp’s clarity and headroom, it makes the OR60 an exceptional foundation for pedal-centric rigs.
Simple, Solid, and Seriously Loud
Additional touches underline the OR60’s practical design. A switchable 60W/30W output allows players to push the power section harder at more manageable volumes, while the overall control layout keeps things intuitive and focused. There are no unnecessary features here, just the straight-up, high-voltage voice of a masterfully tuned single-channel amp.
